Dominos testing drones for pizza delivery

June 05, 2013 12:49

Domino's Pizza has hired a creative agency called T + Biscuits to test the feasibility of octocopter drones that could deliver a hot pizza at your doorstep. Heavily branded as the DomiCopter, the current prototype can deliver two, large pizzas in about ten minutes within a four mile radius of the store, Fox News reported.

While future versions could hypothetically use GPS coordinates to deliver the pie, the existing model is piloted from the ground by someone experienced in drone flight.

The DomiCopter has eight spinning blades and includes the standard thermal insulation bag that's carried around by Domino's Pizza delivery drivers.
